From the editor.

Engelbrecht, Juri

Estonian Journal of Engineering is the new title of the series Engineering of the Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences, the aim and the scope of the journal remaining the same.

The series Engineering of the Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences has been published since 1995. During this time the journal has gained high popularity among Estonian scientists and many of their colleagues from abroad. Especially popular have become special issues of the journal, devoted to selected topics in engineering or containing papers, presented at international scientific conferences held in Estonia.

The new title of the journal is more compact and it corresponds better to contemporary tendencies in titling scientific journals. As previously, this journal is published by the Estonian Academy of Sciences in collaboration with the University of Tartu, Tallinn University, Tallinn University of Technology and the Estonian University of Earth Sciences. The journal is internationally peer-reviewed and published in English with short abstracts in Estonian.

The journal is open for publications in all fields of engineering, including mechanical and civil engineering, engineering mechanics, material sciences, electronics, informatics and coastal engineering.
